Should I be peeling? Vivier chemical peel

skinlover90Apr 10, 2017

Got a peel on Saturday (today is monday) and I've noticed my skin feeling tight (a dry tight) but no flaking or peeling. I look tanned too. avoiding direct sun and wearing sunscreen with spf 30. The medical esthetician said i would see flaking or peeling and not touch it. I havent noticed anything of the sort. very worried about hyperpigmentation because I am olive skinned. Do I have anything to worry about? Received a vivier skin peel with 2% salicylic acid 10% lactic acid and 14% Resorcinol:

I recommend following up with a cosmetic dermatologist for after care recommendations after a chemical peel including silicone gel with growth factors, lasers, microneedling/prp and skin care. Sun protection is essential. See an expert. Best, Dr. Emer
